Nicolas TEXIER

Hi,

My name is Nicolas TEXIER. I am presently a third year engineer-student at Supelec, leading school of engineering in the fields of electricity, electronics, computer and communication technologies in France. I study the Robotics and Interactive Systems. I am also enrolled at Georgia Tech (University of Atlanta, Georgia, USA), on the european campus, where I prepare a Master of Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering.

This site aims to present me and the different projects I realized during my Supelec scholarship.

For the moment, the content of this site is not as developped as I would like and only my résumé is online.

More content will be posted further. I would like to provide here some overviews of the project I realized during my scholarship at Supélec.

I am passionate by all kind technologies and their future. More specificaly, I am really interested in Human Machine interface and relationship, so lots of project I realized involved Robots. For example I realized two projects involving the humanoid robot NAO and an other one using a rover robot called Pekee.

At Supelec, I also had the opportunity to work in a holophonic room. One project consisted so to conceive a demonstration of the enhancements brings by this piece of equipment in a multimedia experience.

Nao Project - Detect and follow a ball

Progress in the robotics makes it possible, today, for robots to integrate lots of interactive functions : speech recognition, text-to-speech, lighting eyes, touching sensors, infra-red sensors,… So it is interesting to imagine, inside a system to help people, to use this companion to fetch something and to bring it in some place.

C++ Project - Library to manage robot's behavior

One of the aim of robotics is to conceive robots able to interact in an autonomous manner with their environment. To allow this, a robot has not only to retrieve data from the environment where it evolves, but also, and mainly, it has to take into account those information and react in an appropriate manner. A walking robot should indeed detect it fall and so interrupt its walk, stand up then keep on walking. So it has to be able to receive a large quantity of information, to process them and to keep only adequate data regarding the behavior it has to realize. This should offer the robot the means to realize the proper action at a specific time and sufficient reactivity.
